Draw the shifted curve on the graph above. A. What physiological conditions change during exercise (levels of what molecules are increasing/decreasing)? B. How do these molecules directly affect Hb’s structure ? What interactions does this stabilize ? C. How do these interactions affect the affinity of Hb for O2? How would this affect the binding curve for Hb? Draw on the graph provided. D. How will this shift in the binding curve affect the function of Hemoglobin ?

- Recall from your BI110 class that metabolically active tissues produce CO2 as a by-product of cellular respiration. Those metabolically active tissues require the O2 that is brought by hemoglobin for the same process (cellular respiration). Explain why the effect of pH on hemoglobin’s affinity for oxygen is consistent with delivering it to actively metabolizing tissues. (Hint: think about what effect the presence of CO2 has on the tissues…)30. The cooperative binding behavior of hemoglobin for oxygen is best explained by... Group of answer choices The movement of the proximal histidine upon O2 binding causes a structural change at the binding interface between subunits The oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ and formation of the superoxide ion causes distortion of the protoporphyrin ring, altering binding interface between subunits The tetrameric nature of hemoglobin's quaternary structure directly confers cooperative binding activity The movement of the distal histidine upon O2 binding causes a structural change at the binding interface between subunits The binding of O2 causes a pH shift that changes the protonation state of amino acids located at the interface between subunits The solubility of hemoglobin in aqueous solution and its insolubility in nonpolar environments1. Is this statement correct or incorrect? Explain. During strenuous exercise, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right. This rightward shift reflects an increase in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and favors loading of O2 onto hemoglobin in the lungs. 2. Is this statement correct or incorrect? Explain. Compared to hemoglobin, myoglobin has a lower binding affinity for O2 and a higher O2 binding capacity, two characteristics that allow myoglobin to efficiently provide skeletal muscle cells with a readily-accessible reservoir of O2.

- Hemoglobin and myoglobin both use heme as their prosthetic group and they both bind O2. However, their O2-binding curves indicate these proteins have different activities. What lind of information can be learned about the differences between the curves?Oxygen affinity of fetal blood is higher than that of maternal blood and may help to provide the fetus with an adequate oxygen supply during pregnancy. In mammals, 2, 3-biphosphosphoglycerate (BPG) mediates intracellular hemoglobin function by lowering cxygen affinity. Fetal red blood cells have higher affinity for oxygen because of a smaller effect of BPG on oxygen affinity of fetal hemoglobin (Hb F) compared with adult Hb (Hb A). Which symbol shows the PS0 value corresponding to Hb F? 14 12 10 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2,3-BPG (mM) O Crcle O Dimond O Square O Triangle (6H ww) dBelow is the O₂ binding curve for adult Hb in whole blood (containing BPG) shown in red (labelled Hb).
